Is this a thing?

I had Covid in the middle of November. It presented like a bad cold for the first couple of days, lots of sneezing and nose-blowing. I then had a cough, lost taste and smell for a week and had awful headaches. I was pretty much back to normal after 2 weeks, but I have had continued issues with lots of phlegm and needing to blow my nose a lot every day. Is this a thing after Covid? Googling doesn't show it as a common thing, so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this.

I think you often get a lingering symptom after lots of viruses, it's annoying but should clear up soon. I also had green phlegm (lovely) for a while after and painful sinuses despite feeling absolutely fine otherwise. All cleared up now.

Yes I still have sinus mucus only on one side of my face! And my ear is blocked up most days

It's really getting on my nerves now

Ok, thanks for the replies. It has reduced, so I guess it's as you say, virus things do drag on a bit and hopefully it will clear up completely eventually. Maybe warmer, drier weather will help as well.
